Light trailer for paratroopers?

[Sergey K.]

Gents, found this one in the place of Sturm rgt stab area . Very lightweight construction with fastmounting wheels - based on what I see..

Also found some period pix of fjs using similar trailer by hands.

More period
So, the question is what kind of trailer is it and what kind of wheels it had ? Is that trailer used only by FJ troops?

Hi Sergey,

interesting find, as always.
It makes things easier, when you know the german word "Handkarren" for this thing.
The thing is a medical handcart. It was used by all troops and medical units, but not from mountain units (Gebirgsjäger). The 4 tubes in the corners fit to the feet of the german wounded trays. Tray with person was placed in the tubes and the cart can be thrown to field hospital by man or by bycicle or motorbike.

I only know the language, but you the pro for discover the military stuff!
It seems for me, finding relicts in russian forrests is like mushrooms picking in Germany.
